Excellent exterior paint and repair with conscientious, hardworking, detail-oriented crew

House painting is more than cosmetic, primer and paint protects siding in particular from damage. I have older siding, some of which was replaced due to water damage, I wanted to protect what was remaining. The Gonzalez contract stated scraping of old paint is included, but the team refused to scrape paint off my siding saying they don't do that. I brought it up with the foreman multiple times. Well, most of the exterior of my house is siding, so I would never have signed the contract if that was stated at the outset. See the attached photo for how they just spray paint over peeling paint. I called the owner and left a message but there was no return call. I won't get into other issues, but for this reason alone, I am giving 1 star. read more

Gonzalez Painters & Contractors - "After" spray painting - Painters Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

We had a great experience with Gonzalez Painters & Contractors, who we hired to repaint/fix our fence. They almost immediately confirmed a time when we arranged for a quote, called to let us know they could arrive even earlier, and then gave us an entirely fair and honest estimate. After we contracted with them, they arrived exactly when they said they would and did a tremendous job over the next few days between the power washing, carpentry, and painting. Everyone we interacted with extremely nice and professional. If we ever need any more contracting work around the house, I'd consider them in a heartbeat. read more

Gonzalez did our roofing. They were fast, professional and did an excellent job. I would recommend them for roofing. Eduardo kept me informed about the work, when they would start and when they would finish. We are very satisfied with the work. read more

Gonzales Painters was excellent from the quoting process through project completion. They were responsive, reasonably priced and did great work. We made changes just before the project work began, and they did not miss a beat. Highly recommended. read more

I used Gonzalez for my roofing job. I met with three companies that were recommended by friends. I chose Gonzalez for several reasons. Company reputation, professionalism on the service call, warranty, and price. Eduardo showed up when scheduled and walked me through their process. He talked about how they a local company with 25 years of experience, emphasized the involvement in the community, I had done a lot of research and he answered my questions on their work and their materials. About my roof--steep pitch, 4 stories on one area, colonial style dormers, chimney, and the roof had been over-shingled by a previous owner. The over shingling means two layers of shingles to remove and it is prone to leakage that is difficult to detect. Gonzalez anticipated this and factored in the cost of new plywood in the edge areas most likely to have damage. My house is at the bottom of a steep drive so I had the advantage of being able to see my roof as it was being worked on. The plywood was really damaged in sections, but they skillfully morticed in new wood. The project manager Juan met with us beforehand to choose shingles in person for accurate color, and walked me through all the materials, from underlayment, vent boots, to ridge vents, explaining why they used them versus other materials and this aligned with my research. The crew arrived on time each day and worked efficiently. They identified problem areas as they worked (40 year old flashing on 2 skylights and redid them at no extra charge.) I have a ton of plants around my house and the work was done with minimal damage to them, and clean up after the work was completed was very well done. Highly recommend. read more

started outgoing beyond expectations and then it went downhill. They wallpapered a laundry command did a good job but did not leave leftover wallpaper. I then had them paint a downstairs room. I specified the paint which was in the estimate and (my fault) because I trusted the, I did not verify. They used an inferior paint, no rebate, did a very sloppy job (damaged shades with paint and paint running down the wall) and my husband and I had to come after them and smooth out paint and put fans in the room. A true professional would not do this. They are very nice and I will NEVER use them again. read more

We hired Gonzales to fix a leak in our roof. While there was a bit of confusion in service first time around, but we told them of our expectations and they realized and promptly came back and redid the work to meet our expectations without any issue. The price is reasonable and roof leak did successfully stop (it been few months and it has rained quite a bit). So I am glad this problem hopefully has been solved for few years for now. read more

We wanted to repaint our living room, two-story foyer, hallway and laundry room recently and chose Gonzalez Painters based on reviews and price. What a great decision! Edil was great with the initial walkthrough and quote, very friendly and helpful. We scheduled out a few weeks due to some other work we were having done but they gave us the flexibility to pull the job in sooner when that option arose. Eduard and his crew knocked the job out in two days! They were friendly, efficient, made relatively little mess (you expect some mess with painting and drywall work), and did an excellent job. We couldn't have been happier and the price was very competitive! (we had several other quotes) We would definitely choose Gonzalez Painters again and would highly recommend Eduard and his crew of painters! read more

Just completed outside paint job and rotten wood repair on my home with Gonzalez Painting and I could not be more pleased with the job. Over the years I have painted my home alone and I understand what is involved. The project manager Jeffry and the primary workers Jeremy and Luis were extremely helpful and easy to work with. I would hire Gonzalez again for any paint job without a 2nd thought and I highly recommend them. Richard H read more

I received a personal referral to Gonzalez Painters & Contractors. The project we lined up was for gutters and guards. First, always get one or two additional estimates. If you are a veteran, be sure to communicate this for 10% discount and hopefully the estimate is not increased and no tangible discount. The estimator was on time, actually earlier than expected. Took the time to show me what was entailed in the estimate. I already had a prior estimate, so I knew precisely what was expected and the comparison of same product. However, the estimator and salesperson provided information that made us re-evaluate the type of guard that would best suit our needs virtually maintenance free and referred us to their online video. This individual answered our questions and sent pictures of the product and brought a sample of the gutter with guard to see it as we could not see it once installed. Basically, 3 estimates, and narrowed down to 2 local companies both personal referrals. We had a specific date due to project commencement on our home. Two estimates were within a few hundred dollars; however, the guards were very different! Therefore, we opted for the one closer to our budget although a few hundred bucks above our budget plan. We convinced ourselves this is gutters and guards and would increase efficiency and piece of mind prior to hurricane or the rainy season. Installed new gutters with leafblaster pro guards....the aluminum guards can let debris accumulate and we anticipated a different version but the contractor mentioned this was superior quality to keep squirrels from digging as I noticed squirrels bury their nuts in the neighbors gutters who think that is cute! Not sure of the reason behind a project manager as it just adds more homeower downtime. Somehow between the project manager and scheduling there was a miscommunication as I signed contract with commencement on Monday with minimal flexibility to Wednesday prior to Saturday project. Eventually a crew of 2 showed up. We did NOT realize until afterwards, the company used a subcontractor for our gutter and guards! Seemed okay and installed before Tropical Storm Debby. The sound of rain is very muted from prior gutters without guards. However, less than 30 days, we noticed 2 areas where the installation might have a problem and now chasing the project manager and subcontractor who told me it would be taken care of this week which it has not! I sent follow up emails and phone calls, very unacceptable to say it will be resolved but at this point it has not! Hopefully the owner will get email and/or see the review and reach out. read more

Fast, professional, and affordable! I contacted Gonzalez for an estimate to have my gutters replaced/upgraded, and within a week, we got the estimate *and* they completed the job. Not only that, their price was 40% less (!!) than the other contractor that I got an estimate from. This is my second time working with Gonzalez--the first was exterior painting in 2015--and I can easily recommend them for high quality, affordable work. read more

I can't even express how impressed I have been with Gonzales Painters & Contractors company. From the first call to the last coat of paint, they were on top of everything. Customer service, follow-up, follow-through, great communication, and excellent results, plus a fair price! Where do you get all of that these days? I had three quotes and theirs was the best. Plus, Pablo the assessor was so patient with my multiple questions and requests for adjustments. Edward was the general contractor and I don't even know how he could be any nicer or more helpful. The three workers who replaced my fascia and painted the house were responsible, on time every time, pleasant, and when they were done cleaned up like they were never here! The house looks brand new and I've had a ton of compliments already! I will definitely use this company in the future and highly recommend them. read more

Our kitchen and bathroom cabinets were well past their prime. They started out as basic contractor-grade wood--fine for a while, but eventually, the finish wore down, and they just looked tired. They made both rooms feel darker and smaller, like the walls were closing in. We knew it was time for a change. Enter Gonzalez Painters. From the moment they arrived, we knew we were in good hands. They didn't just rush into painting. Instead, they carefully prepped the space. They covered every surface--counters, floors, walls, appliances, even the ceilings. It was clear that the prep work was just as important as the painting, and they treated it that way. When they did start painting, it wasn't a quick, one-coat job. Our cabinets needed extra attention because of the type of wood, but they didn't cut corners. They added more coats, carefully checking each layer, and didn't leave until they were happy with the result. That level of care and professionalism is rare these days, and it was refreshing to see. The transformation was fantastic. The rooms feel brighter, bigger, and much more welcoming. Gonzalez Painters turned our old, tired cabinets into something we're proud of. We're thrilled with how everything turned out. read more

The sales Representative, Pablo was very polite and professional. He was able to answer my questions and provide quotes(one with gutter guards and one without) for my approval. The estimate was clear and detailed on what would be completed and I was able to review and approve it online. Supervisor Ruby, came out to review everything and confirm color and measurements. I was very happy with the work when it was completed the gutters look great and the team cleaned up as if they were never here. read more

These guys were amazing! They just installed a new roof for me and I can't say enough about how thorough and professional they handled everything. The crew was also very helpful and friendly. I don't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and to use them again for different kinds of projects! read more

Everyone we interacted with at Gonzalez Painters and Roofers was very helpful and acted quickly to repair our roof. They identified other problems on our roof that we were not aware of and fixed them without additional cost. Everyone we interacted with was very polite, courteous, professional and dedicated to getting problems solved. The workers were respectful of our property and left everything clean. When there was a threat of rain they made sure to get the roof repaired right away. We are very satisfied new customers and will certainly call on this company next time we need roof repair or painting. read more

From the initial contact to the estimate process to the painters who came to the house, by far the best painter experience I've ever had. I do not say this lightly. The gentleman that came to provide the estimate was awesome, walking through my home and identifying some issues with the previous paint job that his painters would also help touch up. When the painters showed up, they were very meticulous in their efforts to cover the floor, furniture, etc...to ensure no damage and only when that was ready, did they begin to paint. The three painters worked so well together and knocked out some fairly complex 2-story walls...making it look easy. Based on their work, I've asked Gonzalez Painters to come back to do two more rooms in my home. Here's the kicker...all of this and for the lowest price! Great Job, I'm so impressed. read more

The team did a fantastic job. The were prompt and thorough from the estimate all the way through the final brush stroke. They assign a project manager to work with and that was very helpful. I texted Esteban, our PM, about some damage to the siding I noticed and they added it to the work and did a fantastic job. They were flexible, professional, and thorough. I highly recommend them for your next project! read more

They did a ton of work for me in early 2023 - new roof, interior + exterior painting, and refinishing a deck. The office staff was professional and attentive, and the crew did good work. Very pleased with how everything turned out. read more

Hiring Gonzalez to paint the interior of my home was one of the greatest mistakes I've ever made. If I could rate this company 0 stars, I wouldn't hesitate. They effectively gave me the "landlord special". The craftsmanship was awful, the attention to detail was nonexistent, and they increased the amount of the job by 30% after contracts were already signed and they'd begun the job - thereby holding me hostage in an Airbnb until I agreed to an entirely new price. To top it all off, they were rude and difficult to deal with. Months later, I'm still finding areas of my home where they took shortcuts: chipped and peeling paint, large swaths of trim left unpainted, fixtures not painted underneath like I'd requested several times throughout the process, paint all over places it shouldn't be (like windows and hardware). They painted over every vent in the house when I specifically asked them not to, and continued even after I flagged the mistake by email and in person. Whenever we spoke, the Project Manager didn't take notes, so I'm not surprised that every last preference I expressed was ignored. Trusting Gonzalez was an error in judgment and a huge disappointment. I'm still mourning the loss of all the money, time and energy I threw out the window. Months later and the pain has only worsened as the paint has begun peeling in many places due to poor prep. I wish the paint peeling was on our ceiling light fixtures that they just painted over instead of removing but it's not, it's on the ceiling and walls. read more

We had our house painted by Gonzalez Painters & Contractors and are so pleased with their work! They provided outstanding customer service. They answered all of our questions, went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with their work. We previously hired them for a small repair and when we are ready for a new roof they will be our first choice. We highly recommend this company. read more

I hired Gonzalez P&C to replace all the gutters on my house. They also replaced water-damaged fascia where the old gutters had been leaking. Working with them was very smooth and easy, and they did an excellent job. Highly recommended! read more

The crew at Gonzalez was incredibly easy to work with, efficient, and professional. Scheduled a quote and our entire roof and gutter system was replaced before a week had passed. The work itself was done in about a day and a half and was very affordable compared to other quotes we received. They obviously care a lot about the quality of their work and the area surrounding our house was cleaner then when they got there! We couldn't find a single nail or piece of shingle left behind. We will absolutely be having them back for any future repairs or replacements we may need in the future. read more

Excellent communication, thorough explanation of job expectations and pricing seemed very fair based on 4 other estimates I had done.

Thank you, Gonzalez Painters & Contractors, for doing such a great job with our Durham home! We were in search of a company to paint our home - outside and inside - in a fairly short period of time. They were professional, flexible, accommodating, and did a really good job communicating with us before, during, and after. The teams who worked on our home were very friendly, and Edil, the project manager, went over and above in to ensure our needs were met and that we were delighted with the outcome. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Gonzalez for a future job or to recommend them to others. read more

I am delighted with the job Gonzalez did for me. A week ago, I had a number of concerns with my roof, gutters and skylight. In 4 days, my house was rehabilitated. The crews were reliable, steady workers; cleaned up daily; and were polite and respectful of my property. They are roofing heroes (how do they do it in this heat?) The project manager, Juan, was attentive and quickly took care of one minor concern I had. My experience was smooth and above expectations, and I would highly recommend. read more

I had a tight timeframe and needed painters to do the entire interior of my house plus a touch of exterior work. I was given a personal recommendation for Gonzalez and they offered me a competitive quote. I contacted them to confirm if they could meet my timeframe. I was disappointed when the salesperson refused to confirm their availability until I accepted the quote, which I did not do. Instead, I tried to see if someone else had availability. The next day, I got a call from a project manager saying they would be able to start in the next couple of days to meet my timeframe. I gladly accepted and signed the estimate. The painters worked hard for several days and I was extremely pleased with the result. They did an excellent job and I'd recommend them to anyone, I just hope they don't try any pressure sales tactics going forward. read more

We had a great experience with Gonzalez Painters. We had extensive wood damage on the exterior of our home. They were able to replace and repair all of the damage and paint our home. They were professional, timely, and the cost seemed reasonable given the amount of work completed. read more

My project consisted of multiple buildings to paint and replace gutters and Gonzalez Painters did a great job. The project lasted over a week and Edward, the supervisor, was great with communicating via text, phone, and visits. The cleaned up at the end of each day, they were professional and the results look fantastic! read more

After finally getting someone to come out. my opinion hasn't changed. No light covers or fixtures were removed when painting which we found out when replacing them the quality of paint was poor seeing that its peeling off the walls even the contractors that did other work for us noticed the issues that we had. Lesson learned unfortunately it cost me $20.000. read more

We had our house exterior pressure-washed, trim repaired and trim + siding + exterior doors painted, and gutters replaced by Gonzalez. We're extremely happy with the results: very thorough repair and prep work, the paint looks fantastic, and they were very professional and expedient. A nice finishing touch was their care in cleaning up after finishing the job. They also wore masks during all personal interactions, which is appreciated. Highly recommended. read more

We hired Gonzalez Painters and Contractors Inc. located in Durham, NC to repaint the exterior of our two story farm house. Unfortunately, we DID NOT get the "A" team to perform this work. An inexperienced paint crew sub-contractor was assigned. The crew leader, Victor H., did not lead his team to success. Instead, Victor spent a lot of time on-site sitting in his van. Another day he performed automotive work for 2 hours on a vehicle that came on-site (private property I might add). This vehicle and person was not associated with or part of the paint crew. Towards the end of this job, Victor placed his personal business magnet on his van and recorded a video that he posted on his personal business social media (TikTok) account taking full credit for the work (again private property). Gonzalez Painting appears to put much more emphasis on production and marketing rather than quality of work. Just my opinion, it doesn't matter what or how you present on the front end if the end results is poor quality of work. Other Gonzalez jobs we have seen in progress have actual Gonzalez vehicles on-site and paint crews that are wearing clothing that identifies them as Gonzalez. That wasn't the case with our job. I guess Gonzalez decided our job was on the fringe of their service area and the poor quality/outcome would not impact their business. Just another inexperienced paint crew who appear to have multiple business magnets to change around on their vehicles depending on the job. When the crew was taping plastic over the windows, one guy intentionally sprayed the plastic in the center of the window where an inside security camera is located by spraying the plastic in the exact location of the camera making the camera totally nonfunctional for it's intended purposes (duh, cameras do record video). Totally unacceptable conduct. Needless to say, at the final inspection/walk through of this job, the lack of attention of the Project Manager (Ruby), the crew leader's lack of attention, poor quality of work, or care revealed a good portion of the scope of work was incomplete. There was also areas of overspray. Gonzalez sent the same sub-crew back out to address what had not been done. The overspray was not corrected. As an out, Gonzalez's management (Javier) extended a discount to us to compensate for the overspray. Since we didn't want Gonzalez to do any further damage or work for us, it was in our best interest to accept the discount and move on. Overall, our home and property was treated inferior and disrespectful. The skill level of the crew Gonzalez sent to perform this job did not match the GPC-Way or Gonzalez's strong marketing campaign. Extremely disappointing. Gonzalez Painting in Durham, NC seems to place more emphasis on marketing and production than quality of work. Painting began peeling from Gonzalez's work only a few months afterwards due to lack of sufficient prep! Would most definitely NOT hire again. read more

Started and finished when they said they would, did a great job, very knowledgeable and helpful every day, looked out for our personal things around the house so they were protected from the paint and damage. Happy to refer and use them again! read more

Gonzalez was fantastic from start to finish. They were timely, communicative, fair, and did an outstanding job repairing and painting our exterior trim and siding.

Gonzalez Painters stripped popcorn ceilings and repainted in 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a walk-in closet for us. The project was completed quickly and at a competitive price. The office staff, estimator, project manager and painting crew were prompt, organized, courteous and professional at all stages and their work quality was excellent. The work site was left clean and the rooms look great. We are very pleased with their work and we will definitely call them for future projects. read more

We have used Gonzalez for all our home projects for a number of years now! I was extremely impressed the very first time with the quality and professionalism. If you care about having a project done correctly and knowing that you'll be 100% satisfied, call Gonzalez! Other teams that we used prior to meeting Gonzalez painters, did a satisfactory job but after having Gonzalez out for projects it was always clear which rooms were completed by them. Their prep work, painting and detailed finishing clearly show! I highly recommend Gonzalez Painters and contractors! Home projects can be stressful but they take all the stress away and let you know they are going to make sure you're 100% satisfied! It is always an honor to work with them and their teams! read more

We used a Gonzalez painters to paint the exterior of our home that was in desperate need.
